Unpopular Champs Skins Appreciation Thread

So, over the last few months (and especially the last couple patches) Riot has been closing the gap for a lot of champs that have been skinatically (I'm inventing this word) neglected, including Udyr Shaco Nocturne Jayce (and Varus / Karma if you don't count esports skins, which I don't). Plus, they've even given historically neglected champs another pass after the first time they closed the gap... most notably with this patch, in which 5/6 champs were 'unpopular'. Here they are...

Nocturne - 2nd skin in 7 years, with 2 big gaps; 1st skin since May 2016 Veigar - 3rd skin in 7 years, 1st skin since July 2017 Varus - 1st skin since June 2016 if you don't count esports Galio - 3rd skin in 7 years Shen - 2nd skin in 6 years, with a huge gap

Yeah, Shen and Galio just got skins last year, but they have both been historically neglected, so I still see this as a win.

BONUS: We know more are coming. At the very least Zilean, who is currently either #3 or #4 depending on what you consider a proper new skin, is getting something. And the fact that Udyr of all people got a surprise skin makes me think that anything's possible. Except for Skarner . We all know that's not gonna happen.

PS: give kalista a new, non-esports skin plz

idk it´s too little too late for me. Have waited for ages for a decent Zilean skin ( first champ and main ) and with the lingering suspicion that the one we get will be half-assed anyway since he is incredibly outdated and ultimately won´t sell well and riot is neither interested in him nor has any idea what to do with him, I simply can´t bring myself to care anymore.

And even though I am hurting my own cause here, I don´t think I will even buy the skin at this point.

Varus Karma have Riot chosen Conqueror skins. Unlike Taliyah who has player chosen esport team skin.

Conqueror, Victorious, Championship count for Riot.
